A thick gray haze blanketed India's capital on Tuesday, with authorities attempting to reduce the pollution by sprinkling water to settle dust
The air quality index exceeded 400, considered "severe" and about eight times the recommended maximum, according to the state-run Central Pollution Control Board.
Buildings and monuments in New Delhi were largely obscured by the haze and residents complained of health effects.
"We can't breathe properly. My eyes are burning," said Urmila Devi, who lives in Ghaziabad, one of the capital's most polluted areas.
That ain't snow folks!

New Delhi's air pollution is over 8 times the recommended maximum! So it begs the question. Where are the climate change 'experts'? Instead of relentlessly beating America over the head, a country who leads the way in cleaner air, why haven't they paid a visit to places like New Delhi, Beijing, etc to preach their tale of whoa? Where are they? Certainly the photos speak for themselves. What good is it when other countries could care less about pollution even to the detriment of their own citizens?
